  • Admiral of the Fleet Andrew Browne Cunningham, 1st Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope, KT, GCB, OM, DSO (7 January 1883 – 12 June 1963), older brother of General Sir Alan Cunningham, was a British admiral of the Second World War. Cunningham was born in Rathmines in the southside of Dublin on 7 January 1883. After starting his schooling in Dublin and Edinburgh, he enrolled at a naval academy, at the age of ten, beginning his association with the Royal Navy. After passing out of Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, in 1898, he progressed rapidly in rank. He commanded a destroyer during the First World War and through most of the interwar period. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and two Bars, for his performance during this time, specifically for his actions in the Dardanelles and in the Baltics. In the Second World War, as Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet, Cunningham led British naval forces to victory in several critical Mediterranean naval battles. These included the attack on Taranto in 1940, the first completely all-aircraft naval attack in history, and the Battle of Cape Matapan in 1941. Cunningham was also responsible for the on-going struggle to supply Malta and oversight of the naval support for the various major allied landings in the Mediterranean littoral. In 1943, Cunningham was promoted to First Sea Lord, a position he held until his retirement in 1946. After his retirement Cunningham enjoyed several ceremonial positions including Lord High Steward at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. He died on 12 June 1963. (en)

  • Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, 1. Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope, KT, GCB, OM, DSO mit zwei Spangen (* 7. Januar 1883 in Rathmines, County Dublin, Irland; † 12. Juni 1963 in London), britischer Flottenadmiral; 1939–42 und 1943 Oberbefehlshaber der britischen Mittelmeerflotte; 1943-46 First Sea Lord und Chef des Admiralstabs der Marine. Sein jüngerer Bruder war der General Sir Alan Cunningham. Cunningham trat im Januar 1897 in die Marine ein. Im Ersten Weltkrieg nahm er als Kapitän des Zerstörers HMS Scorpion am Dardanellenfeldzug teil. Er diente während der folgenden 20 Jahre vornehmlich bei den Zerstörerflottillen. Bei Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs war er Oberbefehlshaber der Mittelmeerflotte. In dieser Eigenschaft befehligte er die britische Seestreitkräfte beim Luftangriff auf die italienische Schlachtflotte in Taranto am 12. November 1940 und in der Schlacht bei Kap Matapan am 28. März 1941. Im Juli 1943 war Cunningham Oberbefehlshaber der alliierten Seestreitkräfte bei der Landung auf Sizilien (→ Operation Husky), im Oktober 1943 folgte die Ernennung zum Ersten Seelord und Chef des Admiralstabs. Nachdem er 1945 bereits als Baronet geadelt und in den schottischen Distelorden aufgenommen worden war, wurde Cunningham 1946 zum Viscount erhoben. Im selben Jahr trat er in den Ruhestand. Sein Nachfolger Sir John Cunningham war nicht mit ihm verwandt. Bei der Krönung von Königin Elisabeth II. im Jahre 1953 fungierte Cunningham als Lord High Steward und war damit Ranghöchster der Great Officers of State. Cunningham gilt als einer der berühmtesten britischen Admirale des 20. Jahrhunderts. Von ihm stammt der berühmte Satz: “It takes three years to build a ship; it takes three centuries to build a tradition” („Man braucht drei Jahre, um ein Schiff zu bauen, aber drei Jahrhunderte, um eine Tradition aufzubauen“), den er sagte, als während der Schlacht um Kreta beim britischen Heer die Besorgnis aufkam, die Marine werde die Evakuierung der Truppen nach schweren Schiffsverlusten aufgrund von Luftangriffen abbrechen."
